TACOMA, Washington – A remarkable winning streak gets tested by Northwest Conference opponents for the first time when the Puget Sound women's basketball team hosts Linfield (Dec. 3) and George Fox (Dec. 4) this weekend. The Loggers take on the Wildcats at 6 p.m., and then tipoff against the Bruins at 4 p.m.
 
Lucky 7
Puget Sound enters the weekend with seven consecutive wins, marking the program's longest winning streak since the 2016-17 season. During the streak, the Loggers have attempted at least 29 3-pointers in win, and they have totaled at least 40 rebounds in five of those seven wins.
 
Logger of the Week
Samantha Swartout was named the Logger of the Week after scoring a career-high 23 points in Puget Sound's 64-52 win over Walla Walla (Nov. 27). She is the Loggers' second-leading scorer this season, averaging 10.3 points per game.
 
On a different level

Give a hand for Minnehan
